The Book Fair is Here! As part of Book Week, Mrs Tomich has been busy setting up the Book Fair in our Manawa space — and it looks fantastic! The fair is open from 8:00am to 3:00pm each day until Monday. Come along, take a look, and maybe pick up a few early Christmas treats. We receive a percentage of all sales, which goes towards purchasing more books for our library. Don’t forget to enter the great raffle while you’re there!

It's book week... and here's a raffle with some great book week prizes!

Wow! What a wonderful two days we had with our healthy active learning celebration field days. The weather turned it on and it was great to see the joy of the tamariki as they all took part in the wide range of physical education and movement activities. Special thanks to our friends from Sport Bay of Plenty who came and helped today. Thanks also to Mrs Crompton and Mrs Taylor for the organising! Mauri tū, mauri ora - an active spirit is a living spirit

A beautiful day for our final mihi whakatau of the year. Ngā mihi to all our year 6 kapa haka members who have welcomed so many tamariki to our kura and will soon be heading off on their own next adventure. And a huge welcome to all our new whānau. We are so looking forward to learning with you all.

Rooms 15 & 16 were lucky to have Megan from 'Hands on Tauranga' come in to teach then more about our native flightless Kiwi. Did you know only 5 out of 100 eggs survive in the wild? We learnt about predators and sanctuaries - the different ways we are trying to help save our Kiwi.

Mōrena whānau, To kick off Week 5 we had an awesome MMM. Whāea Roz spoke to us about 'JOY' - the importance of finding a little bit of joy every day. She talked about how joy can be a place, people, animals, food, nature or even a toy - everyone is different - what brings you joy? We were reminded to take a moment each day to stop and just look around and take notice of the joy all around us, the things that make our hearts full. We also acknowledged a few weeks worth of SRP Bookmark Awards - wow! mahi whakamiharo, amazing work:) We love celebrating all the outstanding achievements across our kura. A shout out to Mia & Marlee presenting to Rooms 3, 5, 6, 10, 14 & 18 for achieving 100% active travelling last week - keep up the the fantastic work (whānau we appreciate your support in encouraging the walking, scootering and dropping your kids a little farther from the school gate for a park n stride). Have a great week - enjoy the sunshine. E huri tō aroaro ki te rā tukuna tō ataarangi ki muri a koe Turn your head to the sun and let your shadow fall behind you

So proud of our beautiful and talented tamariki who've worked so hard to pull off a stunning performance at Pasifika in the Bay today. Huge thanks to Ms Hall, Krystal and the team who supported them.

Tavake ready to take to the stage at Pasifika in the Bay. Cheeeehooo
